<p>When exactly is a nightly built? Is it at midnight UTC? So, if a PR is merged at 23:57 will it still get included in the nightly?</p>

<p>it's not actually rebuilt, but rather uses saved CI artifacts from the most recent merge</p>

<p>Is it called "Rust Central Station" because it manages the release trains?</p>

<p>I think Alex Crichton might know, since they're the person who started the repo. Is it okay to ping about something small like this?</p>

<p>I thought "main central station" was a thing so I put rust on the front instead. Turns out it's not a thing! It was intended though to be a central hub of rust services. I also like trains</p>
